The much-awaited Kalyan-Badlapur section, which is getting two new lines to segregate suburban and outstation trains, has achieved a major milestone. On August 22, commuters held a protest, demanding that more train services be operated beyond Kalyan.

A new road overbridge, under which the two lines will run, was completed this week. The structure, completed ten days ahead of the deadline, was built at a cost of Rs 30 crore. The entire corridor is expected to be ready by December 2026.
